Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
The Ox-Bow Incident is one of the essential Westerns, directed by William Wellman. A study of the effects--and aftereffects--of mob violence, this film (based on a true story) begins with the murder of a popular rancher. Angry townspeople form a posse, find suspects, and, without waiting for a trial, summarily hang them in an expression of biblically tinged frontier justice. But the one cowboy who tried to turn the mob aside ultimately proves that they executed innocent men. Made in 1943, the film features stunning black-and-white cinematography and a solid dramatic sense about what a deadly combination ignorance and self-righteousness can be. Fonda made this film between The Grapes of Wrath and My Darling Clementine, at a point when he was at the peak of his powers as a young actor. --Marshall Fine

First and foremost: the hype generated through these Amazon reviews is completely warranted. This is a great exercise in Justice, Civility and Lawlessness (with a moral twist, of course).
While it can be said that the film is a bit short on character development, this matter is neither here nor there, for this is not a character study but a study of mob mentality. The characters and their traits are quickly established then pushed into the central conflict: whether the accused is guilty ... Read More

This film was made in 1943 and stars the young Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan. Dana Andrews stars as does a very young Anthony Quinn. The performances here are very strong, especially from Fonda, Andrew and Quinn. Harry Morgan was the same in 1943 as he was in Mash in the `80's. I was particularly surprised by Dana Andrews; he was very effective as the rancher about to be hanged. I had always thought of him as a kind of lightweight but this film changed my mind.
It was easy to see the future stardom ... Read More

The majority is not always right - as this classic western makes clear. Peter Fonda does an excellent turn as one of only seven who stand in the minority against a mob determined to exact revenge - even if that means taking revenge on the wrong parties.
Great movie to remind us that might does not make right, and it is good to be in the minority when it comes to standing up for justice.

Wonderfully directed by William Wellman in 1943, this is perhaps the darkest of all "Films Noire." I cannot imagine another movie that would be more appropriately filmed in black and white. It is one of the most heart-wrenching of all western movies, in that the viewers can clearly see the tragic direction the story inexorably moves in.
As others have synopsized, two drifters (Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan) are caught up in a scenario that mixes cattle rustling, murder, and the exacting of blind ... Read More

Have you ever thought you knew what the right thing to do was, but couldn't convince others of your reasoning?
"The Ox-Bow Incident" could be best described as a western disguised as a morality play on mob justice, or vice versa. It definitely is a film which is based on not the traditional western format of "shoot em up" but rather takes a philosophical approach to what mob justice really entails, and what its consequences are.
